Ran across a friend of mine Hadn't seen since eleventh grade Saw our name on the marquee sign And stopped in to hear us play He said, “ Man, it's been a few years” I said, “They'll let anybody in here” We sat and talked of rebel days gone by And we laughed of how our dreams of California Never got much past the county line We drank a toast to long lost friends And all those crazy things we did It was Freebird in a FirebirdOn the way up Hawthorne RoadIt was long necks, long hair Wild eyed girls and rock 'n' roll Play the drum set on the dance floor Lighters held up for the encore Not a worry in that southern summer sky And we let that Freebird fly He said, “ Man, it's funny How the time evaporates And how you'd give your right arm To get back just a day”“ Or re-taste your first teenage kiss Feel them back roads turn and twist Seeing nothing but dust in your rear view” There wasn't a car in our town any faster Now yesterday's just rusting in my pasture We were too big, the town was too small But looking back, we had it all Singing Freebird in a FirebirdOn the way up Hawthorne RoadIt was long necks, long hair Wild eyed girls and rock 'n' roll Play the drum set on the dance floor Lighters held up for the encore Not one worry in that southern summer sky And we let that Freebird fly It was Freebird in a FirebirdOn the way up Hawthorne RoadIt was long necks, long hair Wild eyed girls and rock 'n' roll Play the drum set on the dance floor Lighters held up for the encore Not a worry in that southern summer sky And we let that Freebird fly Let that Freebird fly, fly on Freebird
